About Ch. Crabitey
Abandoning the world of finance and Paris, Arnaud de Butler has made his home among the vineyards of
Bordeaux. After thorough training in viticulture, he took up the reins of Château Crabitey from his father. The
first vintages he produced were revelations, winning one award after another. This Graves takes him up
another rung in his well-deserved ascension.
